Nice pics Lee.
I want to come over and ride there, especially given how much you rubbish the euro parks when you're writing about your trips here :) Just a question about the crowds - is it a...

^I found the key to bleeding is to invest in good quality syringes - the standard Avid ones most people use are too flexy and let you pull air past the plunger or at the hose. The brass Formula one...

Some decent 2012 models floating around...

Looks like a nice trip and some nice lines, good stuff. I was just a little surprised that you only got 11 days in a month.

I'll sell you my bike, it's light and cheap ;)
Maybe look at the offerings from Ghost and Rose (the other main direct bikes I know). Otherwise the Norcos and Konas seem to be reasonably priced. I...

Nice. We had some amazing days out there this season.

I used to think of it as a great body recovery tool and I would obviously prefer to rely on partner rescue in the first step, but I can imagine a lot of situations in Europe where it would be fast...

Anyone touring in AT this week or next, during the week? Wouldn't mind coming down for a day or two.

Personally, I've ridden more powder this season than any other. That is of course not only due to the snow but also to my circumstances. Even so, I closed out my season today with powder turns, on...

I thought, but am not sure, that there were some trails from the tourist gondola in Bregenz. Never been there but there must be some reason I'm thinking about it. If you want to sell it try...

Nice out there today.

You could probably still get >800€ for that except I guess that the dead forks would bring that down. Considering DH rentals are normally 80+€/day, you don't have to do many days before you spend...

Nice. Love that last pic.

Funny, just met Dave in the lift line yesterday and heard about this, in particular about the alu crampons :) Well done, the sunrise looks especially nice.

Because you haven't posted it yet! Hopefully more pink elephants.

Cham wasn't that great today. Took ages before they opened the top of GM, tensions were high in the lift line as a result. Then...

Sweet, looks like you got plenty of pow this year.

^^don't forget low too, I heard it rains more than snows there ;)

Sweet write up and probably once in a decade conditions.

Nice work, Kramer is a laugh for sure.

Wet slides (point release and slabs) on just about every aspect around Verb, particularly those which don't see skier compaction. I saw them as high as 3000m. Mostly come down during the last couple...

Nice one

Really impressive.

Some of the best turns this year up on Gele Thurs/Fri and yesterday with Orash and Geo on Mont Fort.

Hit Dog-Leg today but it was already fairly heavily tracked....

Looks nice over there. Good work

Seems like they did find him with a beacon. 30-45cm deep, despite the...

Sweet line, way to get after it.

Some late season pow today, lots of wind had made it respectably deep on the right aspects. Getting nice and warm, but still good quality pow.

Sweet turns.

Mammut bought Snowpulse last year. Next year you'll be able to get both the simple bag "RAS" (like BCA) and the wrap-around in removable versions for swapping between packs (this year was just the...

I saw the sign, Alaska Snowboard Guides or something similar. Operating out of the old ABA (I think) spot out Thompson Pass way.

Orash, pics or it didn't happen ;)

Very poor stability and visibility in Valdez this week has meant the checklist has been left for the most part unchecked. No one got hurt, despite some decent...

Yeah, access from the top of jumbo, you can see the whole face from there. I'm pretty disappointed to be missing it, must be somewhat insane to see live. Hopefully next week makes up for missing this...

Things were getting fairly thin under 1800m (esp south faces) in the rest of the 4 valleys before the snow, not sure how Bruson was holding up, it's quiet low. Don't know what they got last...

Anyone riding closeish (ca. 2hrs) to Munich on Monday? The IBK crew perhaps out and about?

Two things, as said slowly step it up, starting easy to get the feel for the bike back - get rid of that rust. Ao, don't ride alone. You'll feel safer with others around and you'll be more likely to...

Yo, PM sent

Subtle, I'd appreciate it if the oracle could send some snow to the west Wallis, I need some practice.

Can't convince any riding mates to hit AK with me. I'm a little worried about getting stuck with a bunch of epicski dentists instead of the tgr variety, so was wondering if anyone needed help filling...

Nice work!

^29 if you're under 165#, otherwise I guess for the budget concious 26 makes more sense.

Nice, heard good things about there. I want to try Nice & San Remo for something new this summer, but I think I'm going to try out a few of your rides too.

Prob the worst the snow's been all season in Verb. 5cm of heavyish snow on a firm to icy base. It rained below about 2000m yesterday as well. Lost a lot of snow with the warm up this week and...

Looks nice Lee. Coming back over to ride Europe this summer?

Avi hazard has mostly been due to the rapid warming thanks to the föhn. Especially in Austria where they've had a lot more recent snow than the N-W alps. Some snow-drifts thanks to the strong wind...

Anyone know where it is? Looks like fun.

I use the omd, check some of my posts in snow for the euros for examples. Shot with the 12-50 kit lens. Pre-focus and 9fps, plenty fast enough.

Post your itinerary in snow for the euros, I'm sure you'll pass a mag on the way who'll take care of them for you.

There is a point card for the Valais/Wallis which would prob be a good option for touring in these parts.

Weren't the airbags exposed? Suggests a partner could have well made the difference.

Surface hoar layer over 10cm deep in parts around here. I'm not sure I want it to snow...

Aosta as well?
If so I'm heading down tmrw :)
Anyone care to show me around?
